Heroes Come Back

By Dragon of the Underworld

Chapter 7

After finishing everything Tsunade had finally caught up to the others who were already at the house. While Naruto and Kaede searched for some rooms to leave their bag in Tsunade explained to the other two about the dinner she had planned.

The house was completely furnished and well kept; unfortunately they there was no food or things to make it with. After Tsunade finished she went to get the door before the doorbell rang, when she opened the door many people came in and started to prepare everything for the dinner.

Naruto and Kaede walked trough a hallway full of rooms.

"Naruto are you sure it's ok with . . . . for me to stay with you" said Kaede thinking that now that Naruto had dramatically risen in social standing he might not want her with him.

"What? Of course . . . . . it'll be like it was before . . . . remember" said Naruto.

"So we'll live together for . . . . forever?" said Kaede not looking at him and hoping.

"I said . . . . . I said that I would stay with you, that's a promise that I will keep" said Naruto.

"No . . . no regrets?" she asked as she finally looked at Naruto.

Naruto didn't say anything he just shook his head, Kaede was satisfied by the response and then she turned.

"So which room can I stay in?' she asked.

"Which ever you want" replied Naruto.

"Look . . . . . . I think that's your" said Kaede as she was looking at a pair of door that lead to the master bedroom.

"Yeah . . . " said Naruto as he walked to it.

"I'll see you in a while ok . . . . and pick any room you want" he said while Kaede continued to search for the room she wanted.

When she found the perfect room she slowly walked in and closed the door.


Naruto walked in to the room, he walked up to the bed and dropped his bag on the floor right next to the bed. He took in a deep breath then let it out in relief, relief tt he was now home. He looked around the room and was amazed at how big it was, it looked like it had everything. Naruto notice the large window and went up to it, he looked out of it and from it he could a lot of the village.

Naruto turned his head and saw a pair of large paintings on the other end of the room; he went up to them and looked at the two people that were in each painting.

From the details that the other three had told him he knew that those two were his parents. He could see why everyone thought he was his father.

'I do look just like him' thought Naruto.

He looked at the other one.

'Mom . . . . she's beautiful' he thought, 'Reminds me of Kaede and how pretty she is . . . . especially with that hair . . . . .' he thought as he looked at the long red hair that hung from his mother. He turned around and walked back to the window and looked out in to the village, as the sky was dark already.

He looked into the night sky and stared in to it, the color of the sky reminded him of someone.


Kaede had finished settling in and exited her room after she put her things away, when she exited the room she noticed Naruto hadn't finished so she decided to go in and help him out.

When she entered the room she saw Naruto looking at two painting on the wall, she walked up to him with out him noticing, but before she reached him he moved to the window as he stared at the sky. Kaede could see he was thinking.

Then he let out a whisper loud enough for her to hear.

"Hinata" he whispered.

Hearing Naruto whisper that made her heart stop for a moment, instead of approaching him the way she was first going to she began to step back so she could leave the room and not let him know she was there. As she stepped back she tumble on the bag Naruto left on the floor and tripped.

Naruto turned around and saw Kaede on the floor, "Kaede . . . . are you ok?" after he helped her get up he could see her sadden face and realized why.

'Oh crap . . . . she heard me' he thought, he then tried to correct the wrong.

"Kaede I . . . " he said but saw Kaede begin to walk away.

"Kaede wait . . . please" he said as he stepped towards her and grabbed her hand turning her around so she was looking at him.

"Kaede I'm . . . trying . . . . I'm trying to forget her, I am" he said tying convince her.

She shock her head, "It doesn't matter . . . . you . . . you'll never love me, will you?"

"But I do" he said. '. . . I do . . I do love Kaede . . . . . . but why do I still get this feeling when I remember her . . . .' he thought.

Kaede looked at him after what he said.

"How . . . . . how can you if . . . if you love her" said Kaede.

"Kaede I . ." Naruto didn't finish.

"Naruto you . . . you can't lie . . . I know you love her, so you can't love me" she said.

"But I do" he replied.

"NO . . . . you can't love two people" she said as her voice began to crack thinking that Naruto would probably agree with her.

Naruto leaned into her and hugged her, "Kaede I love you . . . I don't know how but I . . . . . . I love you too . . ." he whispered into her ear.

She began to sob, ". . . Naruto I . . . I don't want to loose you"

"You won't . . . . . and you don't have to worry . . . . it's like you said before I'll probably never see her again" said Naruto.

"Do . . . do you think you'll ever forget about her" she asked as she lifted her head and looked at him.

"I don't know . . . but maybe with your help I might" he responded as he returned the gaze at Kaede.

"Naruto I . . . . I'm just scared that some day you'll see her and . . . . . you'll run to her and forget about me" said Kaede as she put her head back on his chest.

"I'll never forget about you" said Naruto, Kaede just nodded into his chest.

'If you won't forget about me . . . . then I doubt you'll be able to forget about her' thought Kaede.

"Come we should go down the others are still waiting for us" said Naruto as he released her from the hug and lead her back down stairs by the hand.

When the walked down the stair they saw many people going back and forward doing things, they then saw Tsunade.

"Tsunade what's going on?" asked Naruto.

"These people are preparing the food for the dinner and making sure everything else is in order for when everyone arrives" she said while holding some clothing in her arms.

"Dinner?" asked Naruto.

"Yes I have invited the head of all major clans to dinner in your honor . . . . ." she said.

"Here?" asked Naruto.

"Yes . . . . here are your clothes for the night . . . . I'm sure you two most likely don't have anything proper to use . . . . . I suggest you go get ready before people start to arrive" she said.

The two took the clothes from Tsunade and went back upstairs to get ready, when arrived at Kaede's room they stood in front of it a while.

"Well I guess we'll see each other once were ready uh" she said.

"Yeah" replied Naruto, Kaede turned around to and opened the door but before she could go in Naruto grabbed her arm and turned her around and with out noticed Naruto quickly leaned in and kissed her.

Kaede was shocked but returned the kissed, ' . . I . I . .I don't believe it he's . . . he's kissing ME' like before their tongues fought for dominance but in the end Kaede let herself be taken by Naruto as she let him conquer her.

'Wow . . . this feels great . . . she's never made me feel the way I am right now' thought Naruto liking the kiss.

Naruto released the kissed and looked at her, "I'll see you later ok" she said as he took several steps back then he turned around and walked to his room. Kaede was still mesmerized by the kiss that she forgot she had already opened the door and when she tried to lean in to it she stumbled forward falling on the ground.

' . . . . He does love me . . .he . . . he kissed me on his own . . . . I wonder if maybe I can . . . . can I make him, Can I make him forget about her? . . . . . what if I can't? . . . . . . . that doesn't matter he said he loved me . . . . but that would be like only half his heart would belong to me . . . .' her thoughts came to an end whe she realized she was on the ground.

She got up and closed the door on her room leaving her thoughts for some other time.


Hanabi was ready for the dinner, she well dressed and just waiting for some one to tell her she loved beautiful. She was walking to her sisters room knowing she would probably be the only one to say that to her.

When she reached her room she didn't bother knocking she just opened the door and busted in.

"Hinata are you . . ." she didn't finish; she was struck by what she was looking at.

"Hanabi . . . . why don't you ever knock" said Hinata.

"WOW . . . . . so much for not wanting to go to the dinner uh . . . . you . . . . you look amazingly gorgeous" said Hanabi.

"Hanabi you sound like boy that's trying to trick me in to dating him" said Hinata.

'Great I come here so she could say how great I look and it turns out the other way around' thought Hanabi.

"Hey wait a minute your just trying to look your best for the Fourth's son aren't you . . . . . . he's mine" said Hanabi.

"Of course not . . . . I just want to look my best even if I don't want to go" said Hinata.

Hanabi just stood there looking at her, waiting.

Hinata looked at her and smiled, "Hanabi you look beautiful"

"Thank you" she said as she walked over to her bed and sat down waiting for Hinata to finish.

"Well atleast some of your friends will be there right?" asked Hanabi.

"I know maybe" said Hinata.

"I mean dad did say that the heirs will also be there with the current leader of the clans" said Hanabi.

"How much time do we have left?" asked Hinata.

"None . . . . dad is waiting for us" said Hanabi.

"Oh . . . well I'm sure he won't mind waiting a while longer, right?" she said to Hanabi with a smile.

Hanabi smiled back, "Right"


Naruto walked out of his room and back down stairs where Kaede was already waiting for him, Kaede had been talking with Tsunade while she waited.

"Well it's about time" said Tsunade as she saw Naruto.

"You look great Naruto" said Kaede.

"And you look beautiful" replied Naruto (A/N I really hate describing how people look, so just imagine how good she looks on your own).

"You both look great" said Tsunade.

"Thanks" they both replied.

"Naruto some of the guess have already arrived . . . ." said Tsunade.

"Where are they?" asked Naruto.

"Oh . . there scattered around the house talking amongst each other . . . . we should go and meet them" said Tsunade.

"Ok" he said as he followed Tsunade towards Jiraiya, who was talking with Shikaku. The two turned around when they saw the other three approach them.

"Hey Naruto . . come to meet your guess?" said Jiraiya, Naruto just nodded.

"Hi . . I'm . ."

"Uzumaki Naruto . . . Jiraiya told us about you . . . it's nice to meet you . . . I'm Nara Shikaku . . . and this is my boy . . . Shikamaru" said Shikaku, Naruto shook their hands in respect.

"Wow . . . . I can't believe you actually exist" said Shikamaru.

"Why is that" asked Naruto.

"Well . . . not many people actually heard of the rumors that the Fourth had a son and those that did hear about it had many doubt about it mainly because . . well they never saw you" said Shikamaru.

"I see" replied Naruto as he turned to see two more people approach them, while Tsunade and Jiraiya left.

"That's Akimichi Chouji and his father Chouza" said Shikamaru.

"Hi" said Naruto to them.

"So this is the fourth's son . . . . you look just like him" said Chouza.

"Yeah . . he's probably just as strong too right" said Chouji.

"Well I don't know about that . . . I'm sure I still have a long way to go till I get there" said Naruto.

"You seem modest . . . unlike some other people we know" said Shikamaru.

As they talked more and more people continued to arrive, everyone was scattered around the big house talking.

"What do mean?" asked Naruto.

"Well despite the blood line you come from your not as stuck up as those who are from prestigious clan like yours" said Chouji.

"You can say that again" replied Shikaku, who turned to Chouza and pointed to the kitchen where they could see some food and drinks.

Chouza nodded and both were off.

"So who's your girl Naruto?" asked Chouji.

"This is Kaede" said Naruto.

"Nice . . . . I can tell your going to be a chick magnet uh" said Shikamaru.

"Yeah your probably going to have a lot of girl chasing you espicially becuase of who you are" said Chouji.

"Well that doesn't bother me, there's only two girls for me" said Naruto.

"Two?" said Shikamaru.

"Two . . . . did i say two?" said Naruto.

"It's fine Naruto I'm sure they don't really care" said Kaede a bit bothered by what he said, she knew she was still in his head and it wasn't goignt to just take hours for him to forget about her.

"No . . . . we really don't" said Chouji.

"Yeah and if you can get two . . . . well that is its own price" said Shikamaru.

"Yeah . . . . . . Well it was nice meeting you, but . . . . I would like to go and meet the others" said Naruto.

"I hope we can be friends . . . . we wouldn't want to make you our enemy or anything like that" said Chouji.

"I'm sure we'll be friends . . . . . well I'll talk to you guys later alright" said Naruto.

"Don't worry about we'll be around . . . . . . and we'll introduce you to the rest of the gang some other time" said Shikamaru.

"Thanks" said Naruto.

Naruto and Kaede turned around and walked off.

"Naruto you go and meet the others, I'm just going to walk around ok" said Kaede.

"Okay" replied Naruto.

Naruto continued on with out Kaede as he met the rest of the guess. He met the Ino and her father, and then he went around looking for others, the next people he met were the Aburames.

Shibi and Shino, it was a bit puzzling for Naruto as to why they wore such big coats, but as he talked more to then and got to know them more he found out the reason. The two were a bit quiet so Naruto had to make most of the talk, however they talked just enough for him to understand them.

The two were quiet and kind of dark but there was no doubt that the Aburames were great people.

As he turned to leave he said the same to Shino as he did to Shikamaru and Chouji.

'Man everyone here seems very nice . . . . . I didn't think I'd meet so many people right away' thought Naruto as he walked around looking for others to meet.


Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi were waiting near the door welcoming people as they arrived.

"Well it seems everyone is here" said Sarutobi.

"No I think were still missing someone" said Tsunade.

"Who?" asked Jiraiya.

"Hiashi and his daughters" said Tsunade.

"Well they better get here soon I'm hungry" said Jiraiya.

"Where's Naruto?" asked Sarutobi.

"He's going around meeting people" said Tsunade and right afterwards they heard a knock on the door. Sarutobi walked up to it and opened it.

"Well looks like it's a full house now" said Jiraiya as he saw the last invitees arrive.

"We're the last?" asked Hiashi getting a nodded from Tsunade.

"Well were hear and that's all that matters right?" said Hanabi.

"Right" responded Tsunade.

"So where is he? . . . . I would really like to meet him?" asked Hiashi referring to Naruto.

"Yeah me too" said Hanabi.

"Yeah . . . come on I'll introduce you to him" said Tsunade as she walked in to another part of the house followed by Jiraiya, Hiashi, and Hanabi.

"Where's Hinata?" Hiashi asked Hanabi.

"I don't know she just walked off . . . . she must be trying to hide from Sasuke" said Hanabi.


Naruto was walking around when he saw some one he still hadn't meet, so he walked up to him.

"Hi there" he said so he could turn around; when the person turned around to looked at Naruto he had an annoyed look.

"Yeah" he replied.

"I wanted to introduce my self to everyone before the dinner started" said Naruto.

"Ahh yes you must be the supposed famous son of the Fourth Hokage" said the person with some sarcasm.

"Ahh yeah" replied Naruto sensing his sarcasm, 'What in the world happen to his face' thought Naruto as he saw his face kind of swollen and red.

"Don't worry"

"About what?" asked Naruto.

"Having to live up to your father . . . he was a very powerful shinobi"

"I see, but I'm sure if I work hard enough I could match him or possibly surpass him and be the strongest shinobi in Konoha" said Naruto.

"Ahhh yeah that won't happen, I will be the strongest in Konoha"

Naruto just looked at the person with disbelieve, 'Geez this guy if completely full of it'

"Ahh you don't know . . . . perhaps I should have introduced my self first . . . . . my name is Uchiha Sasuke"

Naruto just looked at him expecting him to say more, he waited for the reason on why he thought he would be the strongest shinobi in Konoha.

Sasuke just looked at Naruto even more annoyed, annoyed that he didn't know being and Uchiha was the reason why he would be the strongest shinobi in Konoha.

"The Uchihas are the strongest clan in Konoha and the fire country" said Sasuke.

"I've never heard of the Uchiha clan" said Naruto as his lack of knowledge about the Uchihas was getting Sasuke mad.

'He might be the son of the Fourth Hokage but there is no way he'll ever measure up to me . . . . . and there is no way I'm going to let him belittle me' thought Sasuke.

"Many years ago there was a tragedy that claimed the lives of all except me and that is why you probably haven't hear of the Uchihas . . . ." said Sasuke who looked at Naruto and then continued.

". . . . . . you shouldn't feel bad no one else will be able to measure to me either" said Sasuke.

"If the Uchihas were so great how come they were all killed so suddenly" said Naruto honestly curious not knowing that Sasuke was now pissed.

Sasuke just stared at Naruto after what he said and Naruto did he same. There were no words needed to know that the two were now one each other's nerves.

'This guy must be the guy Shikamaru was talking about' thought Naruto.

"Naruto" said Tsunade from behind him.

"Yeah" he replied.

"There's some one I want you to meet" said Tsunade as she looked at Sasuke.

"That's fine we were done talking" said Sasuke.

Naruto and Tsunade turned around and headed towards a room where the third was with Hiashi and the other.


Kaede was comfortable enjoying herself, for the last thirty minuets she had been talking with another girl. She was enjoying talking with her so much that she didn't really want to move on and talk with any other person.

Kaede was glad she had found some one to talk to, she knew if she and Naruto were going to live in Konoha she definitely want to have friends to talk to, especially a girl friend. Kaede could definitely see herself be friends with this girl.

In all her live she had never had a really girl friend, one she could talk about stuff or confine in. Kaede knew by just talking to her and getting a good vibe from her that she was a great person. It seemed as the two girls had gotten to know each other so much.

Kaede was giggling at what she was listening to, "Are you serious . . . . do they actually do that"

"I think they do that every day" said the girl.

"What is that guy some kind of god or something" said Kaede.

"Hardly . . . . I can't stand him" said the girl.

"A jerk uh" said Kaede.

"Yeah . . . and he's full of himself . . . he thinks he's all that" said the girl.

"I hate guys like that" said Kaede.

"Tell me about it . . . my clan has agree to an arranged marriage between him and me . . . . can you believe that" said the girl.

"What . . . you can't seriously get married with a guy you don't love . . . . you have to do something" said Kaede.

"I know I'm just trying to figure out exactly what I can do to stop it" said the girl.

"Don't worry I'm sure something will happen . . . . I mean good things happen to good people right?" said Kaede.

"Right . . . like you and the fourth's son, right?" said the girl.

Kaede just blushed.

"So are you two together?" asked the girl.

"I'm not sure . . . it's just that things are a bit complicated" said Kaede.

"But do you love him?" asked the girl.

"Yeah" replied Kaede.

"Does he love you?" she asked.

"Yeah it's just that there's something else that makes things complicated" said Kaede.

"Oh" replied the girl.

Kaede didn't really want to talk about that so she changed the subject, "So are those girls really your friends?" asked Kaede.

"Unfortunately yes . . . I don't know how it happened . . . we were together in the academy and I guess they were the ones I talked to and it all just happened" said the girl.

"Those are some really wierd girls" said Kaede.

"Yeah sometime I wish I had a friend that I can really talk with" said the girl.

"Talk?" said Kaede.

"Yeah you know talk talk" said the girl.

"Oh . . . well if you'd like we can be good friends . . . maybe best friends, I mean I really don't know any one else and I would really like to be your friend" said Kaede.

The girl thought about it, she really hasn't had a best friend, sure she had friends but did she really thought about them as best friends.

"Alright . . I'd like that" said the girl.

Kaede leaned in and hugged the girl, "Thanks . . . you don't know how much that means to me . . . I've never had a best friend or any other friend"

"No problem" said the girl as they separated.

"Oh my god . . ."

"What?" asked the girl.

"We've been talking for a long time, were even friends now and I haven't even introduced my self" said Kaede.

"That completely skipped my mind too" said the girl.

"My name is Kaede" said Kaede.

"Well my name is Hi . . ." she stopped as some one placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Ino?" said the girl as she turned around.

"Tsunade-sama is looking for you . . . she wants you to take this to them . . . . . there in the office room on the other side . . . . asap" said Ino.

"Well I guess I have to go . . . . I'll talk to you later ok . . . . bye" said the girl as she took a trey with cups and tea as she headed towards the room.

"Hi I'm Ino" said Ino as she started talking with Kaede, Kaede grimaced on the inside already knowing about her, she worried as to how a conversation with her would go.


A while ago

Tsunade and Naruto walked in to an office occupied by Hiashi and Hanabi.

"Naruto I would like you to meet Hiashi . . . " she said as the two shook hands.

". . . . and this is his daughter Hanabi" she said.

"Hi" said Naruto, as he was about to shake her hand but she through her arms around him as she hugged him.

"Oh my god you are sooooo handsome" she said as she was pulled back by Hiashi.

"Hanabi, Hiashi this is Uzumaki Naruto" said Tsunade.

"Nice to meet you" said Naruto.

"Naruto uh . . . . . . I've heard that name before" said Hiashi.

"Well I'm sure there are many people out there with the name Naruto" said Naruto.

Tsunade walked out the room and saw Ino pass by, "Ino would you be enough as to bring some cups and tea . . . . oh and get Hinata to bring them to us" said Tsunade.

"Right" said Ino and left.

Tsunade turned around and walked in to the office and closed it. When Tsunade turned around she saw Hanabi already hanging off of Naruto's arm, Naruto tried to get her off but couldn't. Even as he walked towards a couch by the wall she walked with him and hung to him.

"So your Minato's boy . . . . . . I knew your father well" said Hiashi as he sat on couch opposite to Naruto.

"That's good" said Naruto as he was busy still trying to get Hanabi off.

"You look just like your father . . . . and I get the feeling your probably going to be as good as him" said Hiashi.

Tsunade just sat on a couch near by and listen to the conversation.

"I can only hope" said Naruto.

"Looks like she's taken a liking to you" said Hiashi about his daughters actions.

"Yeah I think I got that" said Naruto.

"Do you like how I look . . . . I got ready just for you" said Hanabi.

"Ah sure . . . you look pretty" said Naruto.

"You know I bet any father would love to have you as their son in law" said Hiashi.

Naruto at Hiashi and saw him smiling at him, "Your not suggesting . ." Naruto didn't finished as he looked down on Hanabi.

"What you don't think she's pretty?' said Hiashi.

"Of course . . . . it's just that . . . . how old is she . . . . . I think I might be a little old for her . . . I'm eighteen" said Naruto.

"She's thirteen . . . you know you don't have to do anything inappropriate till she's of age . . . .as time passes by the difference will shrink" said Hiashi.

Tsunade was laughing on the inside as she saw the conversation-taking place.

"That's nice . . . it just that I'm kind of . . . ." Naruto stopped as he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" said Tsunade.

The door open and in came Hinata with a trey.

"Tsunade-sama I have the tea you wanted and Ino said you . . . ." as all she said as she looked up to see everyone in the room and when her eyes fell on him she completely froze and dropped the trey.

Naruto stood up realizing who he was looking at, "Hinata what are you doing . . . . look what you did, you dropped the Hokage's tea . . . . sometimes your . . . ." Hiashi stopped his scolding when he realized she wasn't paying attention to him, all she was doing was looking at Naruto.

"Hinata" said Naruto as he too only looked at her; he then started to walk towards her. Hinata slowly started to walk towards him and when they were close to each to each other they hugged.

The others watched a bit confused.

"Naruto . . . I thought . . . I thought I'd never see you again" said Hinata.

"Me too" replied Naruto.

"Of course" said Hanabi with a pout, ' . . . I'm such a dunce . . . this Naruto is the same Naruto from Hinata's diary'

"You two know each other" said Tsunade.

"He's the one from her diary" said Hanabi.

"Is that true Hinata?" asked Hiashi.

She just nodded, while Tsunade was still lost in all of this.

"So you're the one . . . . the Fourth's son . . . ." said Hiashi, 'You're the one my daughter is in love with . . . I had no idea' he thought.

"Tsunade-sama . . . the table is set and everyone is waiting" said Ino who was sticking her head in.

"Right . . . we're coming" said Tsunade.

"Well I guess we should go" Tsunade said to the others and walked out.

Hiashi took steps towards the door and stopped in front of them as they were still hugging and placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder and nodded at her, he then walked out like Tsunade.

'What was that about' thought Hinata about her father's gesture.

Hinata turned around as she saw Hanabi walked up to them; she had a pout on her face.

"You are sooooo lucky" said Hanabi to Hinata and then she walked out as well.

The two released the hug and looked at each other.

"It's been so long . . . . you've changed . . . . you . . . you look so much prettier then I remember . . . . your beautiful" said Naruto making Hinata blush.

"Well you look more handsome than I remember" said Hinata.

"I can't believe you live here . . . that means . . . we'll be able to see each other more oftern" said Naruto.

" . . . yeah and with out any interruptions . . . . so that means your going to stay here then right?" said Hinata.

"Of course . . . there's no way I'm leaving now" replied Naruto.

"I . . . I thought about you a lot . . . and hopped that some day I'd get to see you again" said Hinata a bit embarresed.

"I've thought about you a lot as well" as he looked at her.

The two locked eyes and just stared at each other for a long while, as Hinata stared into his eyes she wanted nothing more then to just tell him how she felt, that she loved him. Naruto was the same he wanted to tell her but the two of them were just captivated by the other gaze and as time passed by they slowly inched closer and closer till they heard a knock on the door.

The two separated just before their lips met, "Dinners read come on you two" said Hanabi as she walked in a grabbed Hinata's hand and dragged her along.

"I'll see . . . . okay" said Hinata as she followed Hanabi, Naruto just nodded and waited in the office for a while. Hinata wasn't worried this time that they were interupted, the both lived in Konoha and she even knew where he lived so she could just see him when ever she wanted.

"We have all the time . . . . . now that were closer then ever . . we have all the time we need" said Naruto and then he walked out.


Kaede was in the bathroom crying, after talking with Ino she had wondered off and found the office were Naruto was in. She stayed out side and over heard everything.

She heard the way Naruto talked to Hinata and the way she talked him, she was crying thinking that her nightmare would probably come true and she would lose Naruto.

'So that's her . . . . Hinata . . . . why, why did it have to be her? . . . . . . we just became friends' thought Kaede as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I can't loose him . . . . . no . . I have to be strong . . . I have to be confident . . . . . I won't loose him" said Kaede as she thought of how difficult that would be considering who she would be fighting with.

"Hinata . . . . I can see why he fell in love with her . . . . . . she's gorgeous . . . . . . every time Naruto talked about her beauty I though he was just exaggerating but he wasn't she's everything he described her to be, she's beautiful" she said as the tears still continued to fall.

'Hinata is such a good person and probably a good friend and I don't want to loose her friendship . . . . . but if I fight for Naruto's love with her I'm sure to loose her' thought Kaede.

"I'm sorry Hinata . . . but I won't let you take him from me . . . . even if that means loosing your friendship" said Kaede as she wiped away her tears and left the bathroom with her mind made up.
